Aw let down lol, i think it could work so good with the correct colour seats.

Ano, I will need to invest in some different seats! I want beige or cream.

So onto center caps. I had a word with g23 engineering at early edition and to get what I wanted which is these

It was going to be.... wait for it.... £400

So new plan ime going for something along these lines

A different shaped nut But RAYS scribed into the top, similar to this

But i will send them some art work over of what i want, just need to design it

But they will still sing to the similar tune of £200.

A lot is happening all at once so it should all come together. Have faith.

Just mocking up for my false floor, old reliable masking tape

Loving this!

Thanks man! Its not just me then haha

Still needs to be trimmed slightly and some of the chips marked out to make it spot on, but you get the idea

Finally replaced my breaks, look how thin the pad is on the left, and the disk felt like a poppodom lol

And here are the new ones, just need to do the calipers gold

Just to keep this thread alive, should have some updates on saturday hopefully!

And amazingly I have managed to find some center caps, I mean rocking horse **** lol

So there are only 3, but now I have some can send a cap and a plate to g23 (engineering firm) To make the 4th,

then a quick refurb, badges then finsihed!

Nice they look superb. How are you getting on with the woodwork?

The caps are in need of a refurb, just gotta get a colour match, then measure the caps and order new ones, thats it!

The boot is done I will get pics up asap, fits snug as a bug!

I also have a hertz slimline sub and amp that is prime for fitting, just need to select a place

Sounds good. Did you get the interior wood trim in the end?

I am just working on getting the exterior done first, then interior.

Things left to do :

• Get left hand side of the car resprayed and boot
  
• Alfa romeo interior, cream/tan
  
• Wooden dash trims
  
• Wooden steering wheel
  
• Gold calipers
  
• Mount sub and amp
  
• helpers out for more lows
  
• Get extra center caps made whilst refurbing others
  

No particular order, Loads more I am sure

Excellent plan. Will be great to see this progress

Cheers man, Ill keep the updates regular from now on, been slacking lately

Its all in the details

Will anyone be going to dubmania this weekend??

Its been a while since an update, so here goes.

Went down to hastings last month to see a man about a dog.

2 weeks later I got my car back whipped the wheels, gave it a good clean.

I decided to go with Havair in hastings, proper sound bunch of guys and got a show deal on my kit from UD.

I ended up going for an autopilot v2 kit.

• Autopilot v2 digital management
  
• Airlift bags (firestone),
  
• customs struts from gaz
  
• 1 400c Viair compressor
  
• 3/8 air lines
  
• 5 gallon tank
  

I am so happy with it, just need to sort the stance out now and then onto interior.

Hope fully some of you guys saw it at dubmania

Mate that is awesome, sounds like you went with the top notch stuff. That v2 digital looks the way forward from when i was looking about.

Thanks mate! Center caps are also being made as we speak, i am doing the art work for them and then acid etching them. Cant wait to see em done!

Digital management is awesome, its a really quick and easy kit, 8 presets, cruising height, parked height, and tractor stance haha

Another cool feature is 'ride on start'. When you turn your key it will go straight to your preset one, it also has a manual mode to mess with!

'Preset maintain' is a good feature, if you have a slow leak it will keep it topped up the the preset it's on and the lcd display has 512 colours lol

Really happy with it, the controller comes through the pen holder in the cubby box next to the drivers door which is nice and hidden

Yer the ride hight start thing is what i thought was cool with it.

Yeh its good man, gonna get some 20mm spacers for the rear instead of 8 and then center caps,

Gunna look great mate. How long did they have the car in for then?

They had it for 2 weeks! It consisted of plenty of lifts and buses lol They always put 100 miles on the car to test it, they drove it from hastings to petersborough, modified nationals! to the tune of £70 diesel, out of there pocket haha

Cool. Did you have a chassis notch and all done there?
